Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam Nishapuri (part 1)

Although I have magnificent hair, handsome face,

Cheeks fresh as a tulip and the stature of a cypress,

It is not known why, in this earthly because of joy,

The Eternal painter adorned me so.

هرچند که موی و روی زیباست مرا

چون لاله رخ و چو سرو بلاست مرا

معلوم نشد که در طربخانه ی خاک

نقاش ازل بهر چه آرست مرا
